TALK-TAKEis our automated video switching intelligence based on active microphone detection – along with a set of user-definable “rules” for emulating the dynamics of an operator. You can control dozens of mikes by linking multiple mixer chassis.

NO Camera Operators Required!

The CLASSIC interface displays up to 12 camera panels, each with nine (9) user-defined and named presets. Use the joystick to position each shot, then save and name each preset for touch screen, keyboard or mouse recall in under one second.

The PRODUCER interface is unique, displaying your production environment on the screen as a simulated 3D gray scale rendering. Create unlimited presets and recall them by touching the associated icon on the screen. We call it “switcherless” production.

TalkingPoints captures and streams lectures and other live presentations using up to three PTZ cameras. It uses HD Picture-in-Picture formatting to display PowerPoint, Keynote and similar graphics ... and two independent windows for the presenter and panelists. NO camera operators required.

SEVERAL TOUCH SCREEN INTERFACES INCLUDED

Ctrl+R is the camera control utility embedded in VDESK and REMO, but also available as a stand-alone app for use on Windows OS devices. Ctrl+R adds sophisticated camera control for production systems like the Blackmagic ATEM, NewTek TriCaster and others, as well as with dedicated hardware switchers from various manufacturers.

SOFTWARE-ONLY CAMERA CONTROL APP

VDESK Integrated PTZ & PTX Production Systems include switcher, effects, transitions and Chroma key, with local encoding and streaming functions. They include a 23” touch screen and joystick for PTZ camera control. They support 4, 8 or 12 SDI or analog inputs, and control most PTZ cameras as well as PTX Model 1 and Model 2 pan/tilt heads.

REMO is the portable and ruggedized version of VDESK designed for rapid setup and strike on location. Available in two configurations - UBEREMOTE and ISOTOWER - they include a 15.6 inch touch screen monitor and joystick for PTZ camera control. They support 4 or 8 SDI or analog inputs - and control most PTZ cameras as well as PTX Model 1 and Model 2 pan/tilt heads.

VDX USB Control Surface

USB Hall-effect Joysticks

Custom Keyboard

We’ve been interfacing PTZ cameras for 15 years, recognizing that robotic cameras under the control of single operator is the most efficient and cost-effective method of producing multi-camera programs. We have comprehensive control of virtually every manufacturer, model and style of PTZ camera currently available.

Our Custom Keyboard is included with every system, and provides quick and easy control of basic production functions.

The backlit keys on the optional VDX USB control surface provide enhanced functionality which includes a T-bar, effects selection keys and more.

Our production systems include a Hall-effect USB joystick. There are two models to choose from to support the way you work.

PTZ CAMERA SUPPORT

PTX Universal PanTilt Heads

The PTX Model 1is designed to work with smaller cameras like the AJA RovoCam, Blackmagic Design Micro Studio Camera 4K, Canon XA35 and other standalone cameras and camcorders of similar size that support VISCA, LANC and analog remote control protocol.

The PTX Model 2 uses the same universal support protocol, but accommodates heavier and wider cameras like the Blackmagic Ursa Mini, RED, ARRI, larger field production cameras, and DSLR-style camera bodies

The fixtures were designed specifically for those wishing to add pan/tilt functionality for their existing cameras and camcorders … and for lighting designers and directors who can, for the first time, integrate video into their DMX lighting universes. Using DMX consoles and software you can block video shots using one or more cameras in your scene definitions.

VDEPO meets the needs of individuals and companies specializing in the production of video depositions. Its size, weight and feature set (including PiP) make it the most versatile and cost-effective solution in the industry. The touch screen interface is large and intuitive, providing you with a “powerfully simple” deposition capture solution.

NEWSDOLLYintroduces “News in Motion” to otherwise static camera positions in the studio. The dynamic element of moving cameras enhances the production value and viewer experience. When used with PTZ cameras and multiple presets, it’s simple and easy for one person to produce a sophisticated multi-camera production.Controlled like a PTZ camera, the robotic camera platform is controlled by a joystick or shuttle device to position and save multiple preset locations with speeds for transitions. NEWSDOLLY can move quickly for repositioning the camera for preset shots, or can creep slowly for the added dimension of smooth on-air moves.
